A simple example adapted to use Camera extension. This demonstrates initialising the extension, setting up listeners, adding the video frames and updating, and capturing an image on click.

Is there any way to use this on Starling? I couldn't add the resulting bitmap to starling app.

Just for others who come across this, have a look at this example for starling: https://gist.github.com/marchbold/0075bbf8ccf46ac76668

I use this example to take photos on iPhone 6 and save them in camera roll. No problem so far. But how to start video recording and how to save video on iPhone's camera roll? And how to switch front / back camera? Can you please give (timeline) examples for those not so used in AS3? Thanks in advance.

I have created another .fla file & i am calling timeline.as
// 1st line in my .fla
import timeline;

The target is Air 19.0.0.147 for iOS

as per the above example clicking anywhere on the stage should take a picture & display on stage, but when i publish this .ipa to my iPad & i click on the screen, nothing happens. Kindly help.

in timeline.as i have added the dev_key that was generated for my app
var dev_key:String = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
